Thread: Where to get bigger AB hotfix crystals?

I'm looking for #48 or larger AB crystals, hotfix only. I went to M&J Trimming today and they didn't have anything smaller than #30. Costume makers and crafty ladies, where do you get yours? Or do they not exist?

i'd contact bohemian crystal in l.a.
Welcome to Bead Factory
if they don't have it, it probably doesn't exist

Ss48 (11.3Mm) Swarovski Flatback Rhinestones
i also have whitestones info in my email
if you send me an email requesting it I can forward you her info. They are really reasonably priced.....

See, this is the size I need, but these aren't hotfix. I'm hopeless with a sewing needle, so I need them to be idiot-proof. Jen, I'll email...

It's getting harder and harder to find that's for sure. You used to be able to find flat back crystals in every size color and shape. In my profile picture some of those jewels are larger than my thumb. My last costume I had to settle for a much smaller crystal, I think it was called cosmic. That was the only shape available in a large size at the local bead store.

I used to be able to stuff from Elliot, Greene & Co. in New York. Contact person was EZee. But I've heard they are carrying less and less as less and less people make their own costumes.

If you do find, prepare to spend a pretty penny.
